Titus 1:6-10

English Standard Version

^6 (A)if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife,^[a] and his children are believers^[b] and not open to the charge of ^(B)debauchery or insubordination. ⁷ For an overseer,^{[c] (C)}as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not ^(D)be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent ^(E)or greedy for gain, ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, ^(F)and disciplined. ⁹ He must ^(G)hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in ^(H)sound^[d] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

¹⁰ For there are many who are insubordinate, ^(I)empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of ^(J)the circumcision party.^[e]
